This week, I visited “Pronunciation Focus” Japanese Plus Class. We used the old Japanese story “Taketori Monogatari” as this week’s reading book. They read out loud by paragraph in pairs and their teacher checked their pronunciation and intonation. They had to start again if their partner couldn’t read out loud smoothly! So, they were nervous, but there was much laughter and smiles at the same time!

It is important to speak out with caring about proper pronunciation and intonation when you communicate in Japanese. They did a great job; I am so proud of you all!

来週のジャパニーズプラスは、「日本の文化」と「ことば」のクラスを開講予定です。
We will do Japanese culture such as “Japanese Holidays”, “Japanese Arts” and “Osaka Dialects”, aslo useful words in particular situations such as “during shopping”, “in the town” and “when you take public transport” in Japanese Plus classes next week!
Let’s learn more and practice more!!
